The answer to whether or not a man should pay for a date is both yes and no, depending on the financial situation of those involved. Men paying for dates is a social norm; but women shouldn’t always take, and they can suggest making dinner for a man withtips from the author of several dating books in this free video on relationship advice.

I’m a man from Europe and I hate to pay. When I was in the US and I dated, women always expected me to pay and I hated it, ended up not to date that person again.
If a woman has enough self-esteem and dignity, she’ll never let a man pay for her. In Europe men only pay prostitutes.
Women, think about it!

The first date should be on the person that invited the other person on the date. After that, you should take turns paying for it..Also, for the menwomen that are dating please make sure that you bring money with you when you are going on a date and dont expect the other person to pay for all of your stuff that makes you look cheap and selfish :..

Depends on the situation.
Sometimes, the man will pay for the woman.
Sometimes, the woman will pay for the man.
And sometimes, they just go dutch.

i think we should each pay for ourselves, i hate it when a guy pays for me

Let’s make it easy, eh? Whoever invites the person out should pay. Like if I invite a guy to lunch/dinner, I have absolutely no problem paying. Even if I’m invited though, I personally feel better paying my portion of it because then I don’t feel like I [owe] the guy later. (But of course that’s just me) But to make it easier, whoever invites should pay.

we don’t live in the 50s anymore, since today women work and have equal oprtunities of being sucsessful the logical thing would be an extintion of this “law” that men always has pay.

This isn’t 1920 where a woman has no job and a man has to take care of a woman. Woman now boast about their independance and all that jazz, but still want the dude to pick up the tab. If you are dating, 50 50. If a guy says, hey… I want to take you out. Yeah, he should pay because that is what that infers. But dating is expensive, and the dude shouldn’t have to pay to find out if she is girlfriend material.

No! Not for a first date, thats just wrong.And I dont care what year it is, a man and a womans nature never changes.somethings a man is just supposed to do,out of respect.Nowadays men don’t know how to be men any more, and some “dumb ass” women are the blame.
vanitystarr1 @ 7:40 am
Yes, he should at first.Then the woman should after a while.back and forth.
BCanNeers @ 7:55 am
just have one question. If you and your date were going out to the movies, paying your own way, is that a good idea? Or even offering to pay your own separate ways?
